About my sons cradle cap...?

Question

i've heard olive oil helps but can i use veggie oil?? and i constantly pick at it, but he doesnt seem to mind. is it ok to pick at it??

Answer 1

DONT pick at it brush his hair once or twice a day. use baby oil or shampoo for the cradle cap. stop picking at his scalp dangit lol dont use veggie oil that is for cooking not for cradle cap. hm ask hi dr what you can do about as well

Answer 2

my mum said there is something that you can buy from the chemists for it and no its not ok to pick it because it doesnt get rid of it it just makes the head sore

Answer 3

Don't pick at it, it can get worse and not go away. My baby had it really bad for a while and I tried baby oil, no go. Then we tried petroleum jelly and voila! It;s gone. When I gave her her bath yesterday she was cradle cap free.

Answer 4

i tried everything. my doctor finally told me to use head and shoulders. used it 3 times and now its gone.

Answer 5

I always would scrub their head with soap and a soft baby brush everytime they took a bath. It worked great! Then you can but baby lotion or whatever on their head afterwards. But the scrubbing with the baby brush works wonders, and my kids always loved it.  

Answer 6

my little girl had it bad, we used detinox - cradle cap shampoo (i think thats how you spell it) and it worked...lots of bits came off.

also, use olive oil and rub it in half an hour before you wash his hair

dont pick it cos it will make it sore for baby and could get affected

Answer 7

You can also use baby oil if you have some.  I don't know as I would constantly pick at it as it will gradually loosen from the oil use.

Wash with baby shampoo daily and apply some oil till its all finally loosened and washed away.

Usually thats the end of the cradle cap for good once you get rid of the original leftovers.

Answer 8

after his nightly bath put baby oil on his head wash it in the morning

Answer 9

SOFTLY rub on it after the bath,  Make sure to wash out all of the soap and then rub in some Baby Oil.  The next day, repeat.  It will finally go away, usually in a few days.

Answer 10

you should go the shops or chemists and they have specialized shampoo for cradle cap, it helps alot to get rid of it. because my brother just recently had it, we brought the shampoo and most of its gone.

Answer 11

Johnson & Johnson Baby Oil  rubbed onto scalp after bath

Answer 12

I used regular baby oil then a soft brush like the baby hair brush and scrubbed it off. It takes  quite some time but it will go away.

Answer 13

My doctor recommended Mineral Oil. It worked great for  my daughter.
